Remember your last healing
Have you ever prayed God
would correct something in your life, and He
did? Have you ever asked Him to bless you, or a member of your family, and He did? Do you remember your last
healing? Many of us are guilty of having some really short-term memories; we
forget all the good things God has done for us way too soon. It’s like we pray
and pray because our problem or situation is very serious, and then faithfully
God answers our prayers, then before long we’ve forgotten all about His special
“gift” or His blessing. We go back to all the other things we used to think
about, and now, that which we prayed for, and
got, are no longer a problem for us, so we just forget what He has done for
us. Shame on us!
I am reminded by the Holy
Spirit, it’s important that we stop and realize how complacent and forgetful we
can be. I know I am guilty of forgetting His wonderful work myself. In fact,
several weeks ago, I asked God to help me with an anxiety problem I was having.
He graciously allowed me time to think about what I had been worrying about,
and to come to realize I was trying once
again to deal with life on my own. I know better, but I sometimes slip back
into some old habits! Once I gave in and seriously confided that I needed Him
to help me, all my reasons for worrying were gone! It was as though I had been
struggling for nothing!
The Holy Spirit suggested today
that I continue thanking God for what He has done for me. Fortunately, for me,
He did just about the time I was almost starting to take Him for granted again.
I am
ashamed! Forgive me LORD! And, He softly says to me…”I WILL!”
Remember your blessings.
Thank your Father for all He has given you and will continue to give you. Our
God is
an awesome God!
